Run Babies, Run!
Found a nest of baby pronghorns last summer, great fun. Don't know what caused them to run off this time (I had been watching them for about 20 minutes without incident) but I fired off a few shots while they were somewhat parallel. I liked the bounding one up front and the look on his face. About a 2/3 crop out of the middle, it'll do until I get something better. 40D, 500/4 + 1.4xTC, f6.3, 1/1600s, ISO 500, +1/3 EC, HH from vehicle.
Sweet image Steve.
Pano crop works very well, and having the OOF grass 'sandwiching' the main action is a nice touch. The front one really makes it, especially with a hint of catchlight. Curious to know why you went to ISO 500 based on the SS, was it to get a bit more SS?

Very nice indeed Steve. I have never seen so many of these young together in one image.
I agree that the OOF top and bottom works well to bring your eye along the group.

Thanks for the comments you two.
Steve,
I have no idea why I had ISO 500 selected. I was probably shooting at 400 when I first found them and bumped it up as it was getting darker. Truth is, I tend to get more caught up in watching than paying attention to what I'm doing, especially when I come across something like this that I hadn't seen before. I lost a whole bunch of closer portraits of these guys when they were only a few days old because I inadvertently turned off the IS during some early evening shooting.
Steve it happens to us all, thanks for the reply.

Nice image it is always difficult to get Deer/Antelope running I like this in spite of the fact that it could have been "better", next time!
Like the pano crop and the action here. Agree with comments re the oof grass nicely containing the action.
Steve - I agree with the others, pano crop works really well here. And yes we all get caught up in the moment, just hope it isn't at the time of the opportunity of a lifetime. :eek:
TFS,
Rachel
Well done Steve. As mentioned crop works perfectly. Nice dof giving sweet oof fg. Good exposure and sharpness.
